[Woodcarver] Favorite Stories that involve carving or carvers??

[Chris]

 The Dollmaker was filmed (parts of it) about 10 miles from where I live
now. Michael Copas was the one that did the carvings. He for the most part
carves large animals now. He specializes in birds of prey. Full size eagles
and hawks.One of the most talented artist I have ever met. If any of you all
ever get to Gatlinburg he has a shop about 9 miles out of town on Hwy 321.
Well worth the time to stop by and see.
